Get Maced Posts Three Straight Misses After 9-Day Hiatus, 9/11 Episode Stalls at 2,873 Views
Three consecutive Get Maced episodes since returning from a 9-day hiatus are all underperforming. The 9/11 anniversary episode posted just 2,873 views and stalled, the worst number in the show's history, on a day when a Republican congresswoman doing a patriotic 9/11 special should have had a captive audience.

Compilation: verbatim quotes from the two worst-performing episodes, with viewership stats throughout. Sep 8 (7,319 views) and Sep 11 (2,873 views).
Nancy Mace came back to Get Maced after going dark for nine days. She has now posted three consecutive episodes since the hiatus. All three are underperforming. The 9/11 episode is the worst yet.
The 9/11 number
On the 25th anniversary of September 11, Mace posted a 12-minute episode titled "The Enemy America Is Afraid to Name | Never Forget 9/11." A Republican congresswoman doing a patriotic 9/11 special should have a captive audience. She drew 2,873 views, and the episode essentially stopped climbing after the first few hours.
For context: the show's working median before the hiatus was ~37,909 views. The 9/11 episode is tracking 92% below that median. It is the worst solo-episode number Get Maced has posted.
All three post-hiatus episodes, ranked
| Sep 8 | Sep 9 (return) | Sep 11 (9/11) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Episode | Clancy Mistrial Bigger Than One Courtroom | Lone Clancy Juror | Enemy America Is Afraid to Name |
| Views | 7,319 | 48,741 | 2,873 |
| Comments | 77 | 389 | 111 |
| vs. median (~37,909) | -81% | +29% | -92% |
| Status | Stalled at 3 days | Recovered | Dead on arrival |
The September 9 episode was the one bright spot: it opened soft (25,671 at 18 hours) but matured to 48,741, landing above the prior solo median. That number may have masked how bad the pattern was becoming. The episodes on either side of it are both disasters.
The prior floor for a solo Get Maced episode was roughly 20,000 views. Two of the three post-hiatus episodes are now well below that.
What changed
Mace also debuted a new studio backdrop during this run. The previous setup has been replaced by a darker production with a neon "GET MACED" sign. Whether the visual change is correlated with the audience drop or simply coincidental, the new look rolled out at the same moment the numbers fell off a cliff.

What the data says
The pre-hiatus show was built on political commentary: Congress, culture war, Ilhan Omar, WNBA. Those episodes regularly cleared 37,000 to 55,000 views. Since returning, Mace has leaned into the Lindsay Clancy true-crime trial and a 9/11 special. Neither lane is delivering the political-commentary audience.
The one exception is the September 9 Clancy episode that hit 48,741. But even that carried only 389 comments versus 207 for the Ilhan Omar episode, meaning the Clancy audience engages but is a different, apparently smaller crowd in aggregate.
Three episodes in, this is no longer a bad week. It is a pattern.
What she said
The three episodes also produced some notable on-air moments. All quotes are verbatim from the published episodes.
Sep 8, on the Lindsay Clancy mistrial and PPD defense (Clancy panel):
"if you can murder your kids because of your hormones and men can rape women because of hormones, I mean, just the slippery slope we're going down. And now we can just abort toddlers when they're six."
Sep 8, on WNBA eligibility policy (panel debate with opposing guest):
"I'd say it's retarded."
The word appeared twice in the same segment. After the first use, a panelist said he couldn't disagree. Minutes later: "So there's lots of data on how retarded this is."
Sep 9, on TMZ asking whether the pink-shirt Clancy supporters would show up if Lindsay Clancy were Black:
"Nobody would be supporting her if she were black. No one would be supporting her if she was black? No, liberal white women aren't gonna support a black woman who murdered her kids."
"I think that the left is inherently racist. I said what I said."
Sep 9, on the prospect of a female president:
"This is why I don't think we're ever gonna have a female president. I mean, this is, liberal white women are just, they just don't give a good name to good women."
Sep 11, on pro-Palestinian protesters:
"All you tranny gay people that are marching through the streets for radical Islam."
Sep 11, on New York Governor Kathy Hochul visiting an Islamic center while wearing a hijab:
"Showing respect for the pedophile worshipping death cult, she shamelessly betrayed all women, all Jews, all victims of Islamist torture, murder, and terror."

One frame in the branded intro montage of Rep. Nancy Mace's 'GET MACED' podcast, posted to her own YouTube channel on August 12, 2026, is AI-generated or AI-composited. A native 1080p, region-by-region review by Maceopedia scored the frame 96 percent AI on the strength of three fabricated network microphone flags that read 'ADFT / MIEET' and 'PRBS / IEWS,' none of which is a real broadcaster. The 'West Virginia' banner in the very same frame is spelled correctly while the small logo text is gibberish, a signature of generative text rendering rather than video compression. This is a separate finding from the tattoo-sleeve question raised about the same intro, which remains unresolved and hedged.

The intro montage in Rep. Nancy Mace's 'GET MACED' podcast opening includes frames showing an extensive colorful arm tattoo sleeve (an American-traditional eagle, mountain landscape, and roses) that struck many viewers as AI-generated, since it does not appear in other verified photographs of her, including real beach and surf footage from the same video. A frame-by-frame look at the moving footage, though, shows the ink tracking her arm through motion: a detail that argues against AI generation. Her former campaign manager testified under oath that her tattoos are, 'I think words.' Mace has a documented history of posting AI-generated images of herself, including in May 2026.

Two days after it ran the joke as a fake news article, The Babylon Bee turned its Nancy Mace tattoo bit into a produced, roughly 24-second AI video, posted August 20, 2026. It imagines Mace and House Speaker Mike Johnson discovering they got the exact same arm tattoos, complete with an AI Johnson in a sleeveless dress shirt showing matching JUSTICE, roses, and saint ink. It is satire, AI-generated, and none of it happened, but it is a clean marker of how far Mace's viral tattoos have burrowed into the culture.

On the August 19, 2026 'Watters' Cooler' segment of Fox News' 'Jesse Watters Primetime,' Fox News contributor Kat Timpf reacted to Nancy Mace's nine new tattoos. Timpf said she was fine with the tattoos themselves ('you do you'), but that Mace's stated reason, that she got them partly to feel 'the pain she felt she needed to feel,' changed her read: 'so now I don't know so much anymore.' She closed on a line of concern: 'I really hope you're okay. I hope things are better now.' Every characterization here is Timpf's own or Mace's own, quoted and attributed; Maceopedia asserts nothing about Mace's health in its own voice.
